cosleepers...are you sleeping well?

Some time ago I posted that I was going to transition my dd to her crib in her room. It didn't go well and now she's back in with dh and I. We are cosleeping but I'm not getting a good night's sleep. She's a wild sleeper and sleeps between us bc she crawls and stands at night. She doesn't get up to eat anymore. Besides the obvious, any tips on getting better sleep while cosleeping? TIA!

I moved the crib next to us and took one of the bars off . The front bar idk what its called but I moved it next to my side adding more bed room and getting baby use to the idea of her own bed. And if she wakes up she plays in her crib. And no worries of falling because the rest is gated. so her crib is next to the wall and our best is next to her crib so its one huge bed lol little by little she's going to like her own space, bed, and then move her. hth =)

We co-sleep also.....but its not the baby that keeps me awake! Its DH! He has been sleeping in the spare bedroom for awhile now. There is not much room for all 3 of us in bed but thats not the issue. The issue is that he snores so terribly loud that it keeps me awake. I know that its not the best situation, but it works for us and we all need to get a good nights sleep. We'll get DS in his crib eventually but we're in no hurry!

DH and I have moved into our son's room...there's a bed and his crib in the room. It works well for us. I had to move my son to his own crib at 5 months since he was moving around so much, I was barely getting any sleep. At least now he can move around in his own crib as much as he wants and doesn't wake us up. We only get up to give him the pacifier when he wakes up in the middle of the night.

DD starts in her crib and usually comes into our bed around 1am. Some nights are amazing- I feed her and she is down the rest of the night in a deep sleep. Other nights she moves and nurses what feels like every hour. I'd say it's 50/50. But it still beats sitting in a chair rocking her for an hour everytime she cries.

This is pretty much what we do too. I put him in his crib at the beginning of the evening, which gives me that free time before going to bed (I couldn't just put him in our bed alone). When he wakes up for his midnight-ish feeding, i just bring him to bed with DH and I. But lately, he's been waking up later and later for that feeding... like now it's almost 3:35 am and he's still in his crib. I think it coincides with how much solid food he eats throughout the day. Anyway... none of that is even helpful to answering your question. lol I don't sleep as well with him as I do when he's in his crib. He tosses and turns and even when he's still and cuddled up so cute to me, his head is so friggen hot and sweaty! lol And he nurses almost constantly when he's sleeping next to me (or usually on me). Then I have to sleep in an awkward position so he can stay latched on. No, I definitely don't sleep better while cosleeping... at least not in that sense. I do feel much more at ease when he's next to me though. Just being able to glance at him and see the rise and fall of his chest makes the tossing and turning and sweaty little head seem minor. :)

Sorry to be so blunt but I sleep like s***. I wish we could get him in his own bed. I look like a zombie. Some nights are better than others but even when he just wakes up twice it's enough to make me feel rubbish. I hope you get some better sleep soon.

We still pretty much co sleep-our daughter usually starts out in our bed then we put her in her crib, some nights she'll STTN but most of the time she wakes and we bring her back in our bed until morning. Our bed is small and my daughter sleeps in between my husband and I. Some nights she is restless and other times I don't notice she's there. To be honest, I sleep better knowing she's safe next to me. The times she stays in her crib I constantly wake up wondering if she's ok. Lol But it is nice being able to snuggle with my hubby when she's not in between us:)
